A native of the Philippines, the artist concentrates on the human face in most of his works, emboldening each subject through lighting, shadow, and scale. Photographs set the basis for many an illustration, while the artist mostly uses pencil in place of many manga artists' digital tools. In this way, Krisper's drawings feel looser in form than your sterile, algorithmically-rounded tablet piece."For inspiration, I look for emotion, firstly," the artist explains to Creators, "I like to capture an emotion more than anything else, whether it be a suitable frown or a big grin or every emotion in-between. I am to translate that emotion into the style I'm creating, and it always gives me joy to see a piece that has an emotional feel more than aesthetic, which is the next big thing I look at."
